What Are the Consequences of Your Actions?
We all know that whether it is in our business or in our personal lives, there are often consequences (intended and unintended) for our actions. Admittedly, sometimes we get lucky and the potential consequences never happen, but, more often, they do catch up with us. Your willingness to accept the consequences often guide your actions. There can be two kinds of consequences—good and bad. Generally, we want to minimize the bad consequences and maximize the good consequences.

Dietary Supplements and Multi-level Marketing: Why Do Companies Jump on the Bandwagon?
If you have done any kind of web search for multi-level marketing, it will not take long before you discover that many multi-level companies involve dietary supplements of some type, particularly juices.

What’s In Your Bathroom?
There are some products we all use every day and we all assume are safe. After all, if they weren’t safe the government (a.k.a. the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)) wouldn’t let them be sold, right? Maybe not. The fact is that manufacturers don’t have to get FDA approval to introduce a new product. Nor does the FDA regulate what is in that product (beyond a list of ingredients that are prohibited).

The Other Marketer
Whether you are in multi-level marketing in a small way or a big way, if you live with anyone else, there is another multi-level marketer in your business. They may not be officially in your business (although if you are a committed relationship they should be), but, like it or not, they are most definitely involved. If you are involved in network marketing in a big way, you are spending large amounts of time on your business. If you have a family, a house, you need to eat, etc. then someone else is picking up those chores that you no longer have time to do.

Are You Afraid Enough?
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.Anais Nin (1903-1977)Writer What motivates us to change? Dissatisfaction? Maybe. Extreme fear? Maybe. Most likely, however the motivation is that we are so uncomfortable or so afraid in our current situation, that we will do anything, including change. Change is difficult for almost all of us and sometimes it takes a lot to convince us that something should change.

"You Owe Me !" The Danger of Entitlement
There was a man who was very tired of working. He didn’t make much money and didn’t see any chance of making more in the near future.

He was just tired of living this way. He deserved better. He worked hard. He decided to get some money quickly. He went to the ATM and put a blank piece of paper in a deposit envelop.
